Slow Down To Go Fast
Everyone wants to go fast. They want fast results, fast money, fast feedback loop, fast responses, fast everything. They want the “overnight success”.
Truth is, there is no such thing as an overnight success.
Understand that the key to success is not who can do everything the fastest .. it’s who can do the RIGHT things consistently, over the longest period of time.
When you are consistent with small, meaningful daily actions .. it compounds exponentially over time.
Take a look at this chart on Warren Buffet’s net worth:
Warren Buffet is one of the wealthiest men in the world. It took him 42 years to reach $1B .. but only 27 years to reach $60B thanks to compound interest. Now I’m not saying you’ll be a billionaire ..
But I want you to think of compound interest in every area of your life. Your health, wealth, business, relationships. That one day you go to the gym won’t have an immediate effect .. but keep at it and a year from now you might be shredded.
That one day of prospecting might not generate any instant sales .. but a few months from then you may have an entire pipeline of ready to buy leads.
That one date you go on might not result in you getting married .. but a few dozen more of those and you may be engaged.
Consistent daily actions compound over time and add up to give you extraordinary results. If you’d like an awesome read on this topic I highly recommend you pick up “The Slight Edge” by Jeff Olson.
